2014 Sony World Photography Awards entries

New entries in the Open competition of the 2014 Sony World Photography Awards

'Bonding' by Cory Kipa from New Zealand, in the Nature & Wildlife category.
Cory says: "This image was taken in Sydney, Australia, at the Toronga zoo on
Sydney Harbour.

I was just watching the the giraffes walking around the enclosure they
weren't doing anything very exciting and then it started to rain very
heavily. I took cover so my gear and myself would not get wet and noticed
the young giraffes run for the shelter of the cave

and they were a bit distressed because their mother was not with them, so
they were looking around for her, then I saw the mother just casually walk
over to them to comfort them, it was such a beautiful moment to witness and
I'm very lucky to have been there to capture it."
